It's Just Love.. (Hayes Grier)

It's Just Love..

*PROLOGUE*

~ALYSSA'S POV~

Hi, I'm Alyssa! I am 13 years old and I'm in 8th grade. I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and I'm about 5'2. I'm very insecure about myself even though my friends call me skinny and pretty.

Brent Rivera is my best friend, ya know, the one from vine? Yeah. The 2 year age difference doesn't bother us.(he is 16 in this book, not 15)

I don't have a great relationship with my parents, but it's okay. But I have a deep dark secret. Only Brent knows it, because he Is the only one I trust in my life.

**FLASHBACK**

We were watching tv at my house, home alone. He was laying on the couch and I was snuggled into his side. We were watching NFL, Browns versus Steelers, even though else live in North Carolina.

"H-hey, B-Brent..?" I stuttered, nervous. He looked over at me.

"Yes, pretty girl?" He said smiling. That's what he always calls me.

"I really need to show you something. B-but....you have to promise me you won't be mad at me.." I almost whispered the last part.

He nodded. I could see the worry in his eyes as I could feel the liquid threatening to fall from my eyes. I held out a pinky, not looking him in the eyes. He finally gave me his pinky and we shook.

"I swear." We said in unison as he kissed our pinkies like he does whenever we make a promise.

Proceeding with my secret I looked at him one more time for permission to show him. He nodded once more.

I began to lift my sleeve up and show all of the cuts on my arms. That's when I began to cry. I looked up at him and he just had sadness and sympathy in his eyes. He was like a brother to me and I was like a little sister so this was hard on both of us. I looked back at him, he took me in his arms and pulled me onto his lap with his arms around my waist. He kissed my forehead and said things like

"It will be okay, baby."

"I'm here, it's all going to be alright."

"Don't worry. I'll protect you."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and sobbed into his shoulder. He rubbed my back soothingly with one hand as the other was still protectively around my waist. I was afraid to look at him. I was afraid that I would loose him, which is my biggest fear. But I did anyways. I looked at him, seeing that he had been crying a little bit too. I frowned and wiped away some of his tears as he did the same for me.

"Why...?" He asked, still tearing up.

"Brent, I-I don't k-know. Please don't be m-mad at me. My biggest fear is loosing you." I sobbed, laying back down on his shoulder as he put both arms back around my waist, kissing my temple.

"Oh my gosh. Alyssa. I will never leave you." He said, pulling me so that I was looking him in the eye, kissing my forehead again.(just so you know, that's normal for us.)

"I know, Brent. But..no, I don't know what I was thinking. I just don't want you to be mad at me. That's why I didn't tell you sooner." I answered, truthfully.

"You always know that you can tell me everything. I'm not mad one bit. I'm just worried." He said.

We sat there in silence as he looked at me and I looked at him. Then after a minute or two he looked down at my right wrist, which had the most damage. He picked it up off my lap and looked at it closely. After he was done examining it, he kissed every single scar, saying something nice to it (referring to me.)

"I love you."

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

"You are perfect in my eyes."

"I am always here to protect you."

I broke him out of his little speeches.

"You're my hero." I whispered, hugging him, feeling him get taken aback a bit then hugging me back.

END OF FLASHBACK

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After I told him, he completely helped me. And now, 2 years later, I'm clean. I've been clean for a year. We took baby steps to get here, but, we made it.

We started by throwing all of my razors away. We waited about a month to start, he didn't want me to just stop without any warning. So about a month after, we took my lock box from under my bed, unlocked it, and flushed all of them down the toilet. He was so proud of me and I was proud of myself for even agreeing to do that. The next step was talking to a school councilor about bullies. They had a complete assembly about bullies, and the whole time, Brent was always there. He even came to my counseling at school. And through all of this my parents still don't know.
